Apple Store Meltdown in Buffalo, NY

·

I hate apple so much right now. Our stupid Mac mini computer just stopped working so @terry made an appt. It must be the power supply seeing it does nothing when plugged in. Once we got there the apple store was having a meltdown. The lights were going crazy and the employees circled around like pioneers on a wagon train being attacked by angry Indians.

So a broken apple computer and a broken apple store, argh. I can't believe their stupid system accepted an appointment when it was down. And seriously a company like crapple can't afford a cellular backup network solution. If they can't even keep their stores running who is going to trust them as a network based cloud solution.

Hiking At Niagara Gorge

·

Before the concert @terry, @tinypliny and I went hiking at the gorge. We had two hours before the conceryt so it was really a quick run down, across and back up.

I think tiny might have been slightly terrified of the climbing over fallen rocks part. At the bottom we had a nice snack if organic treats.

There was a boyscout troop doing the same thing. I couldn't believe how many of them were fat and having trouble. There were barely any fat scouts when I was a kid. I don't mean stocky either I mean straight up fatties.

The water was higher than I ever remember it which makes be think canoeing at somewhere like zoar valley would be awesome.

Dirty Pipe

·

The sink was clogged. Plunging it I found it filled with dirt. I can't device if this is topsoil or just the dirt we washed off ourselves over the last couple years.

Glen Park?

·

I waited for a while at Glen park in Williamsville while @terry took his test yesterday. It was beautiful out but I felt so old as there were so many teenage lovers walking around holding hands.

Fedora 15 Gnome Shell 3

·

I am loving Fedora 15 and gnome shell despite what some other people are saying. It installed with everything including 3d right out of the box. You can get it yourself here

I was excited to try out the new Bootable network based installer that adds a simple option to your grub installation and then installers new versions of fedora over the network without any install media but unfortunately I no longer have an accessible ethernet at home.
